Afternoon all.

I have a client who due to the varied and bespoke nature of their work (packing cargo) they are having issues with safe working at height. We have identified the only solution which is to utilise airbags as a means minimizing the consequences of a fall.

Not having used such devices before, I was after any advice on where I can purchase such items, and also whether there is any specific guidance on their use??

Many thanks...Chris

Hi Chris,

To be honest I did struggle to find any definitive guidance on the use of airbags.

However after doing a google search on airbags and working at height, I did find a number of sites talking about using them, and providing them in the UK.

The following link is from an Irish company, which provides a little more info on the subject.
